SOEP-Core v35t (2018) - Short Description

The Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) is a representative, multi-cohort survey that has been running since 1984. Every year, individuals in households throughout Germany are surveyed by our survey institute on behalf of DIW Berlin. These respondents provide information on topics such as their income, employment history, education, and health. Because the same people are surveyed every year, it is possible to track long-term psychological, economic, societal, and social developments. To keep pace with changes in society, random samples are added regularly and the survey is adapted accordingly.

Summary: This is the teaching version of the SOEP-Core dataset 10.5684/soep-core.v35. It contains 50% of all households from the original dataset. It is released for use in the college classroom.
